1. Shipments must be synced to ShipHawk

When a shipment is ready to be packed and/or shipped in ShipHawk TMS, the shipment must be synced over to ShipHawk TMS. Only the object related to the actual shipment needs to be synced. 

  1. For example, in NetSuite there are Sales Order objects, and each Sales Order may have multiple Item Fulfillment records which represent the pick task and shipment. 

  2. This sync must take into account the mappings that have been configured by the administrator. 

  3. Prior to fulfillment, users Order sync must be able to rate recover in the order in the ERP with ShipHawk by clicking a button. Upon clicking this button, the connector must send a rating request to shiphawk, receive rates from ShipHawk, and display them in a dropdown menu. If a rate is selected, it is to be applied to the ‘ship method’ field. 

  4. In our other integrations, this rating exists at the Sales Order level, and not at the shipment level object. 

  5. Not all customers will use this, but it is important for some B2B use cases. 

    case of order sync failing

    1. For example, if a shipment sync (or any request to the ShipHawk API) failed:

      • Save detailed information to logs that can be accessed by an administrator

      • Ensure there is a system that will try sending the record again after some time

      • If fails constantly (10 attempts over 5 hours with exponential delay), mark the order/fulfillment as failed to sync.

  6. Allow the user to manually sync an order to ShipHawk TMS by clicking a button

  7. Serial/lot numbers must be synced with ShipHawk TMS

    1. The serial/lot numbers available for packing/ shipping must be synced with ShipHawk TMS as part of order sync so that they can be verified in ShipHawk TMS


    1. The user must be able to scan a serial/lot number into ShipHawk

    2. ShipHawk must have a list of serial/lot numbers in stock for that SKU, and be able to verify the serial number scanned. 

    3. After a shipment is booked, the serial/lot numbers must be recorded in the ERP using webhooks.
